MIDI Recording Setup: Sounds & Modules

Okay, next on the software, it's good to have, well it's necessary to, if you're going to be using a Midi setup similar to mine, it's necessary to have external sound cards as well, as far as generating your sound sources, where you're pulling your music from. And what that is is pretty much, like here I have a keyboard synthesizer which includes different sounds. It has drum sounds, keyboard sounds, piano sounds, strings, guitar sounds. It has a host of different instruments in it. So I can use this as an external sound card or sound module to generate my music from. Transferring my data from here to my Midi software, to my sequencing program. There's other sound cards as well. You can get, you can buy sound cards to implement into your software and load them on to your computer. And those sound cards, they come in a host of different kinds. You have different sound cards like, orchestrational sound cards, drum sound cards. So like if you go into a music store and you're looking for, for instance, I want drum beats, a host of different kind of drum beats. They have sound cards for that. And you can go and buy and load it into your computer and you'll have all kind of drums, from hip hop to drum and base to live instrument drum sounds. And they have them for pretty much any instrument you can think of. They have a sound card library for that. There's also sound modules that, Roland makes a good sound module, Yamaha MOTIF is a good sound module. These are just name brands. It's not really necessary. It all depends on which, you know, what sound you're looking for and what's suitable for you. Sound modules like this, come in also just miniature sized boxes that you don't have to have the keys, you can just have your sound module box and draw your sound from there. So, those are just some, a host of different kind of sound cards and sound modules you can use as far as generating your music for your Midi sequencing setup.
